5A Is it true that every scenic spot must be equipped with a "third toilet"?

Brief introduction: On the 4th, Li Jinzao, director of the National Tourism Administration, proposed at the 20 17 National Toilet Revolution Site Meeting that the toilets in 5A-level scenic spots must reflect higher standards, and all 5A-level scenic spots should be equipped with third toilets.

This so-called third toilet is specially designed to solve the embarrassing problem of some special people going to the toilet. The third toilet, also called neutral toilet, is built for the convenience of all ages and is a humanized toilet. The biggest feature of "neutral toilet" is that there is no gender difference, which highlights the humanistic spirit, makes the function of public toilets more reasonable and makes "convenience" more convenient. The advantages of the third bathroom are: first, it embodies the equality between men and women. In the construction and use of public toilets for men and women, there has always been the voice that "women suffer". The "neutral toilet" is both a men's toilet and a women's toilet, and "going to the toilet" only comes first, regardless of gender. Secondly, it takes care of adults and children to "go to the toilet". In many cases, adults are embarrassed to take children of different sexes to the toilet, and they are not at ease to let them use it themselves. Sometimes children are embarrassed to take their children to the toilet of the same sex as adults, and it is impossible to go to the toilet of the same sex with their children. Sometimes adults don't have to worry about children being outside alone when they use the toilet, and so on. After the toilet is "gender-free", all problems are solved; Third, it improves the utilization rate and makes people more convenient.

It is understood that the neutral toilet is equipped with a 0.45-meter-high toilet, a 0.7-meter-high horizontal handrail, a vertical handrail with a wall height of 1.4 meters, safety handrails on both sides and the front edge of the washbasin, as well as storage tables, clothes hooks, call buttons and so on. In order to meet the needs of special people, nursing mothers and elderly people with mobility difficulties can get services in the "neutral bathroom". At present, there are "neutral toilets" in Shanghai and other places in China, and the first "five-star toilet" in Chongqing was opened in Bishan Nanhe Park on August 20 10. Entering the bathroom, the central constant temperature air conditioner makes the bathroom much warmer than the outdoor, the soft saxophone music echoes in the ear, and the automatic incense burner makes the bathroom filled with fragrance, which makes people feel like they are in a high-end hotel. There are 5 squatting positions in the men's and women's toilets. 1 toilet for the elderly. In addition, there is a 1 maternity room in the ladies' room, which has a wooden baby chair in addition to the toilet.

Li Jinzao said that toilets in 5A scenic spots must reflect higher standards. Especially the setting of the third bathroom, which is the fundamental embodiment of humanized service in scenic spots, is also the direct requirement of China's tourism service in line with international standards, and must be paid attention to.
